Palau d’Esports l’Illa in Benidorm has hosted this morning the first training session of the ASOBAL team of Benidorm Handball Club, which this year will compete as Servigroup Hoteles Benidorm.
The Mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, and the Councillor for Sports, Javier Jordá, together with other members of the corporation, have gone to Palau to greet the team that, for the second year, will be led by Sergio Carballeria and his technical team and chaired by Jacobo Balongo.
Toni Pérez greeted the players and technical team one by one and addressed the team as a whole to thank them for “spreading” the name of Benidorm throughout Spain representing it “in the highest category of professional handball”, predicting that “game by game” with “effort and work” they will be able to bring “new successes to the city”.
The club president has shown his “infinite gratitude” to the City Council because “this would be impossible without them and the rest of the sponsors”. Balongo specified that the internal objectives are to “improve the club at an organisational level” and “leave it as healthy as possible from an economic point of view”.
Jacobo Balongo announced that the club will launch the season ticket campaign as soon as the calendar is ready. The first match will be against the recently promoted Balonmano Guadalajara and the first away from home against Granollers. The most interesting match, as usual, will be against Barça, on matchday 24.
This will be the eleventh consecutive season of the team in the first division of Spanish professional handball, which this year has added three new signings, the Alicante goalkeeper Roberto Doménech; the winger with triple American, Greek and German nationality, Nikolas Zarikos; and the youngster from the Mislata youth team and youth international, Hugo Vila.
We are very excited, we want to improve the club at an organizational level, leaving it as healthy as possible from an economic point of view.
Thanks to the City Council because without the City Council and other sponsors, this would have been impossible
